Sunrise over Mustang. We got up early to hike a little higher up the hill and look down on the valley below. Up ahead is the route to Upper Mustang, once a place of great mystery but now easily accessible by road.

Might be that the best part of this journey was when Tashi got his own Macro lens and hence a chance to discover something very new and very wonderful. His patience with the butterflies is exemplary. There was a moment when he realised that you need more than flowers to chase butterflies, you need the sun as well. Butterflies are essentially solar powered, they most active once they've had a chance to toast under the sun a little.

The key to photography is never to rush it. Take the time to take your time. Slowly slowly. Khuley khuley.⁠

One of those moments that you cannot plan for, but have to be ready for. Lovely things always seem to happen in Bhaktapur :)⁠

Tashi is a very shy person, so this little moment was really special. He had been taking pictures of the wide scene with me for a while, but decided he needed to go up to these Newari ladies and ask to take their picture. Up close. Very proud of you Tashi!⁠

Still in Bhaktapur with this series. I visit here every year, and pretty much every year I take a photo of Kumari. This time the shoot escalated a little! This old temple had just been renovated and gave us a wonderful glow as morning sun streamed through the lattice work.⁠ I love a little serendipity.

Unexpected joys of the spring weather. Earlier in the day we faced storms, but they cleared in time for us to arrive in Pokhara and enjoy some stunning views of Machhapuchhre. ⁠

Kind of hard to believe that these places really exist. And you can just go for a walk and shoot a scene like that.

I always tell people to look for the light. But sometimes the light finds you first. One special person has brought more light into my life than a thousand sunrises.

Thank you @ironchefshellie
